Technique for measuring hippocampal T2 relaxation time.
PURPOSE To implement and validate methods for producing calculated coronal T2 maps with complete coverage of the hippocampus and the rest of the brain. METHODS T2 relaxation times were estimated on three occasions for 12 quality assessment test objects with the use of fast spin-echo (FSE) and conventional spin-echo (CSE) sequences. Hippocampal T2 relaxation times were measured in 15 healthy s...
متن کاملThe Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness is Related to Severity of Parkinson’s Disease
Introduction: We investigated correlation between the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and the severity of Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: In this study, the RNFL thickness of 23 patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) was compared to normal controls (NCs). PD severity was assessed by the MDS-UPDRS (movement disorder society Unified Parkinson Disea...
متن کاملNoninvasive Measures of Liver Fibrosis and Severity of Liver Disease.
Determining the degree of fibrosis is an important step in the assessment of disease severity in patients with chronic liver disease. Liver biopsy has been the gold standard for estimating the extent of inflammation and fibrosis, although the procedure has limitations such as sampling error and variability. Noninvasive testing has been shown to be equally predictive in ruling out fibrosis or ru...

متن کاملAge-Related Loss of Brain Volume and T2 Relaxation Time in Youth With Type 1 Diabetes
OBJECTIVE 2 Childhood-onset type 1 diabetes is associated with neurocognitive deficits, but there is limited evidence to date regarding associated neuroanatomical brain changes and their relationship to illness variables such as age at disease onset. This report examines age-related changes in volume and T2 relaxation time (a fundamental parameter of magnetic resonance imaging that reflects tis...
